A DREAM OF FLOWERLAND – DANISH MUSEUM OF CERAMIC ART 2018-2019

 

SUPPORTED BY THE DANISH ART COUNCIL FOR VISUAL ARTS

SITESPECIFIC CERAMIC GLAZED CONCRETE INSTALLATION

A Site-Specific Ceramic Installation at the CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art, Denmark.
It consisted of 60 ceramic objects, each meticulously crafted from
stoneware glazed concrete, and concrete itself, with dimensions of 30 x 30 x 2 cm.
The installation stretched across a 3.5 meter by 4 meter by 3.5 meter space in the exhibition hall,
while extending a further 5 meters into the museum’s sculpture park.

TRANSFORMATIONS

The work delved into the transformation of floral motifs from four porcelain pots in the museums permanent
collection, originally created by Effie Hegermann-Lindencrone in the Art Deco style for Bing and Grøndahl.
These once delicate designs in this art project undergo a metamorphosis, reinterpreted through the lens of modern
IT technologies. As these blooms unfurled anew in concrete and ceramic-glazed concrete, they interacte
with the museum’s architecture, questioning what happens when tradition meets innovation.

WILL THE FLOWERDECORATION OF EFFIE HEGERMANN-LINDENCRONE BE LIBERATED

Will these flowers, rooted in porcelain, finally be liberated, or will they remain trapped, bound within the
unyielding matrix of time and materiality? The piece beckons contemplation on the tension between
preservation and freedom, encapsulating the eternal quest for release from constraints.

THE LIVING POT

A Dream of Flowerland was created for the group exhibition The Living Pot, hosted at the
CLAY Ceramic Art Museum from October 12 to March 31, 2019. This installation probed profound
inquiries regarding biodiversity, the decorative arts, the ornamental embellishments of vessels, the intersection of
IT and craft, methods of archiving, architecture, materiality, expression, context, and the ceaseless yearning for autonomy.
